Why do people on here call boxers cowards? How can a man or woman who fights for a living be a coward? Risking his or her life and health for you entertainment makes that person a coward? Only ****ing idiots call boxers cowards... big difference between talking shit and calling a person a coward. You don't have to like a boxer, but you still have to respect all the hard work they do for your entertainment.
How many of you mother****ers who call boxers cowards actually box?
Football is a world away from boxing. In boxing there is no one to pass the ball to, and you and the other guy are the entire focus of attention.
You can still get hurt badly in football, but it is not at all humiliating to be taken off the field with a busted knee or whatever, but getting put on the ropes and having the crap beaten out of you before the referee saves you is most definitely humiliating.
Thats fine and dandy. Still doesnt change the fact that there are cowards in every sport.
I don't like to hear boxers referred to as "bums" or "tomato cans," or anything like that, but I believe that there are cowards in boxing (and every other sport). It takes guts to fight another man, especially when you don't have anger or hatred to steel your nerves. But there are boxers who avoid opponents because they fear losing, or even fear for their safety. Courage has been defined as "action in the face of fear." We all experience fear from time to time. The man who fights in spite of his fear is courageous, a warrior. The man who chooses to fight only those he knows he has nothing to fear from is at least cowardly...if not a coward.
exactly correct:biggthump.
a coward can be contentwith an illusion of invincibility a true warrior relishes the challenge and does not fear losing.
Im usually against using the word coward when describing a boxer. I did use the word cowardly today about a boxer who is unwilling to test himself. If every fighter you face comes in at some sort of a disadvantage when there are other fighters out there who could test you I dont see how thats being brave. Beating up on weaker people for a living is in no way brave and just a little cowardly.

A coward is a coward. Just because fighters are more gifted athletically doesnt make them tougher mentally.
true, but depending on who you're using the word on and who you are comparing the person to, it either heightens or lowers the definition of the word.
a "boxing coward" can still be the baddest man in a room full or average joes.
when i see boxers being called cowards here, they're obviously being compared to other boxers. using the word "coward" against a boxer is not the same as using it against any other person.

I know one huge coward lurking around here, who got his little pussy hurt last night because a Haitian fighter put on a good performance and knocked his opponent out. His name rhymes with Ball sack.
Kevin's goin' in!
:ugh:

If you say you are the greatest, call another person name such as being sorry, easy work, one dimensional, and you won't get in the ring with him you're a coward.
Take that shit somewhere else.
Stepping in a ring against a guy who wants to take your head off doesn't make you a coward.
Football players are injured wayyyyyy more then boxers bro. And I have played next to some people who were scared shitless to get hit.
There are cowards in boxing.
Well if they would fight with bare fists, I would not call any of them a coward. But with the pillows they use nowadays... I might call some boxer a coward.
Oh and football (the american version of it) can be a cruel sport. Guess which has more severe injuries, football or boxing?

Stop whining to me Floyd has an e-mail address.
Dude listen closely. I said there are cowards in every sport.
It doesnt matter what sport you think is tougher. Paul Williams is tough as nails and said hed never fight in the MMA. I think the UFC is tougher then boxing.
Thats irrelevant. Im saying there are cowards in every sport.
